Who fixes a gas leak, the gas company or a plumber?

The gas company handles its meter and the line up to it. Pipes on your side of the meter are repaired by a licensed plumber. In an emergency, the gas company shuts the gas off first.

Turn off the water

The main shut-off in many Odessa homes is near where the water line comes up out of the ground by the foundation, often on the front or side of the house. If it's buried or stuck, the curb valve in the meter box near the street stops water to the whole lot.

Smell gas? Get out first

Gas leaks are an emergency. Leave the house, don't flip switches or start a car in the garage, and phone the gas company or 911 from outside. A licensed plumber repairs gas lines once the utility says it's safe.

Freeze damage

Most burst pipes are found as the ice thaws, often the morning after a cold night. Check pipes in the attic, garage, exterior walls and outdoor taps before turning the water back on.

Sewage backing up

Stop running water in the house. If sewage comes up in the lowest shower or tub, keep children and pets away and don't use chemical openers. A main line clog or a full septic tank are the usual causes.

Water heater failures

A tank leaking from the bottom can't be fixed. Turn off the cold water to the heater and the gas or power, and keep a bucket or towels underneath until a plumber arrives.

What to tell the plumber

Where the water or smell is, whether the main and gas are off, and how long it's been going. Photos from a safe distance help. Send a request and a plumber will get in touch.
